HELP… HDV vs. DVCPro HD (from AfterEffects to FCP 5)

[Walter Biscardi]

I think DVCPro HD is the much better of the two formats both for aquisition and for editing. My DVCPro HD renders from After Effects are completely pristine for the animations I’m creating on a broadcast series.

I’d use PhotoJPEG@75% myself – better picture than DVCproHD, smaller file size, and cross platform.

Yes, either Photo-JPEG for progressive, Motion-JPEG for interlaced, or Animation for alpha channel content. If you need alphas, but Animation is too much, then try PNG.
